Included as separate documents with this tender brief are: • Excel spread sheet with a list of objects, dimensions, crate requirements, courier requirements, lenders and delivery dates. • A list of collection addresses for all lenders. • Specification of pre-existing crates - The company will be responsible for: 1.1.

Ensuring all works are transported in a vehicle fitted with climatic control and air-ride suspension. 1.5. Movement of objects to either the temporary objects store or gallery on the second floor of the museum. Please note this requirement in particular in relation to the Canoe from the Combined Military Services Museum, which will not fit in our lift. 1.6.
